Visit the North Druid Hills-Briarcliff Patch for a bittersweet feature on the May 7 Medlock Day celebration.

Mason Mill Park Bridge Update via CHCA
Tim @ the CHCA has posted some wonderful pictures of the bridge-in-progress that will connect "our side" of the neighborhood to Mason Mill Park. I find it reassuring the bridge still works when they double-stack the cargo containers!
Here's a screen shot of one of the photos that Tim provided, but check the whole entry and additional photos at the CHCA website.
And for real train fans, Tim also posted video.

We definitely have someone, probably coming from the North Druid Hills area, targeting that area. We need to be vigilant in looking out for suspicious persons in the neighborhood. People should not hesitate to call 911. We can't be everywhere and need all the "eyes and ears" we can get.
